MyInfo Is My Choice

After years of looking at, reflecting upon, and wondering if the new generation of note apps, including Capacities, Amplenote, Logseq, etc. can help me manage my information/knowledge etc. I made a choice.

I decided that, for me at least, none of them are what my ADHD-challenged brain needs. My serious learning involves paper, fountain pens, and an analog Zettlekasten with help from Zotero.

For everything else, including some of the above, I am using MyInfo. For me, MyInfo allows me to do virtually all of what attracted me to the shiny new apps with, IMHO, more flexibility.

My decision was made when I spent time recently looking at how I used MyInfo in previous years. I was not all that organized, but realized I had captured a good amount of information, and actually used some of it to foster new thought and ideas. The ability to use columns in MyInfo allowed for some useful metadata related to reading, projects, etc.

The other contender was Dynalist, which I used a lot even after its developer abandoned loyal users by halting development, and putting all resources behind Obsidian. My main outliner/information manager going forward is MyInfo.

FWIW, that’s where I am at.

Frankly, I am surprised that most of the main app influencers on YouTube, and elsewhere, have generally ignored MyInfo and the essential urility of software based on the traditional outline paradigm and allowed to evolve from there.
